Safety in a Failing Economy

Sachita · 11-01-2011, 08:24 AM

People across the world are concerned with the economic systems, food safety and how they might survive a natural catastrophic event. I know that many of you are on fixed incomes, perhaps SS and government programs that help subsidize your income. In the event there was a shut down or program cuts, how would it effect you and what is your back-up plan?

I think that people are waking up to the fact that its best to cut your overhead, live more simple and that happiness is not about the things you have but the freedom to free from "things". I would like to open a discussion and invite everyone to share ideas, concerns and solutions.

I'd like to open the discussion with one of my favorite topics "Sustainability". No matter where you live you can begin to look at ways to sustain on some level. Recycling, container gardens, the purchases you make, what you do with trash, etc.

There is a thread here called "Tiny Houses".
Some great ideas and links on small structures. This is an excellent way to escape that huge mortgage and drastically reduce your overhead.

Another thread "Growing and Preserving Food"

No matter the size or location of your home you can grow healthy organic food and preserve it. This lowers your food cost and insures food safety. Let's discuss it.

We also have "Survivalists and Preppers"
Things to have and prepare in the event of a disaster.

There are also several threads on communal living. An excellent idea to cut cost, get help/support. If ever there was a time for us to ban together and network, now is the time.

rather then get into debates over political issues I'd like to focus on ideas and solutions. I'd like to welcome people to start networking and considering communal living. Work your idea here, post to meet others who share your ideas and how you might come together and make life easier. I see so many of you doing the same thing. Why not do it together? Lets us all help moderate and mediate learning ways to overcome the challenges and obstacles.

Please share!
